May 2015 Expenses

It's the end of the month., and I have calculated my expenses for the previous month. Some months the numbers are low, others are a bit much. Previous posts about expenses can give one an idea about how much it costs to care for three large dogs in the Midwest.I do these posts for a few reasons. I have seen a few other bloggers do them, and it is a good way for me to keep track and be accountable for dog related expenses. Also, it is a fairly accurate example of the costs associated with caring for three large dogs. Some argue that raw is expensive, but in my opinion and experience, it is no more expensive than feeding a good quality kibble.May 2015 ExpensesFood-$238.46Health-$19.00Total-$257.46Another good month, financially. I didn't purchase any gear, treats, or toys this month. Food expenses included an order from My Pet Carnivore, some locally raised, all natural meat from This Old Farm, and some beef roast, pork loin, and chicken leg quarters from the grocery story. As always, health expenses went to the purchase of Bruce's prescription.June will be a bit more expensive. Neeko is due at the vet, and I spent nearly $200 just today on dog food. We shall see.
